This isn’t really a recipe as much as a fun way to add some flavor to a favorite side we seem to be having more and more at our house. Yay for fun Tater Tots! My sister-in-law gifted me the newest Ree Drummond cookbook for this past Christmas. One of the recipes included doing this…

Wonton Lasagna Cups
These are a little more time intensive than I usually like to do but I came across a similar recipe and wanted to give it a try. These were really good. I especially like the way the wontons get nice and crispy all around. This recipe makes 12. Next time we make this – I’m…
Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Thighs

Bacon Ranch Pasta Potato Salad
Not long after I graduated from high school – I bought a small magazine-like cookbook called Pasta while I was waiting in line at the grocery store to check out. I still have it and flip through it at least once a year. It holds many classic recipes that are fun to me to look…
Coffee Cake
I remember my Mom making coffee cakes when I was a little girl. There is something about a coffee cake baking in the oven that turns a home into a comfy, cozy place to be. I’m hopeful that we make things that create feelings of happiness and comfort for our kiddos and that one day they…
Egg Bites without Cottage Cheese
I was excited to make Egg Bites this morning. I could tell when I opened the cottage cheese container that something went awry (even though we were two weeks from the expiration date.) I decided to give it a go without the cottage cheese and see where we landed. These were really good. I did…
